We also work with some of the most innovative and exciting Hospitality & Catering venues too, from funky pop-ups across the capital to some of the trendiest boutique hotels in the world. How to make yourself stand out as a candidate?

Be passionate, focus on accomplishments and give examples
In a interview with a recruiter or a hiring restaurant or hotel, come across that you actually WANT the job. You’ll be surprised at how many people say they really want a particular job but their body language portrays the exact opposite. So be passionate and focus on what you’ve achieved in your previous roles and talk in detail about your accomplishments and how you work in the kitchen/hotel.

Be contactable as much as possible to your recruiter
This may sound obvious but it’s a pet hate for recruiters and it’s when candidates aren’t contactable. We understand that if you’re working a busy shift you won’t be using your phone but whilst on your break, please check it and call your recruiter back if they’ve called you. Catering recruitment can be fast paced and the fact is you are going to miss out on vital job interviews if you’re not contactable.

Be as flexible as possible for interview days and times
You’ll also miss out on interview times if you’re not as flexible as you can be regarding interview days and times. If you really want a particular hospitality or catering job at a particular restaurant, do everything you can to make sure you can make the interview. Otherwise, it may look like you’re not that keen on the role.

Be sure you actually want a new job
Ask yourself. Do you really want to leave your current job? Because if you don’t, you’re just wasting everyone’s time (including your own) if you going through the whole process only to not turn up to a job interview. Be clear in your own mind about what you want and where you want to work and your job search will then be made much easier.
